I know this boat well. Its my brothers. He takes very good care of it. It is always garage kept, and we all tease him that he worries more about keeping that thing shined up and pretty when he should be that conscious about catching fish. He washes and waxes it regurlarly, keeps it tuned up and in tip top shape, and he is meticulous about it. You never see it with so much as a smudge of dirt on it. Wiped down as soon as it is pulled out of the water, and washed like it was a fine sports car. Its a nice rig. It will fly also!
